Amy Chapmans Funeral
The interview talks about Amy Chapman and her life, what she did and how she was so popular; not because of status or wealth but one of the oldest citizens of Sumter County and ertainly one of the most respected of its colored people. It talks about days before she had died. She was such a kind hearted person, and would absolutely do anything for anyone. She was a strong believer in RESPECT and she believed that to get respect you need to give it. Speaking of all of this is Ruby Pickens Tartt, a close friend that was with Amy days before she had died. She said that Amy was an absolute sweetheart and worked extremely hard for everything. Reading this made me realize how kinda people could be and because of her color she was descriminated and disrespected which wasnt at all fair. She would help out anyone who is in need, and didnt care what the circumstances were. Amy cared about everyone and everything and she had more knowledge that her someone of her age should even have, it was unamaginable.

The Story of Katy Brumby
Katy grew up in Mount Meigs, a small town 12 miles east of Montgomery. There were eight or nine children in the family but katy was the oldest. They later moved in a small apartment, in which they had a very nice landlord. The farm was a good way from Mount Meigs. Katy is very proud of Mount Meigs. Her father was a good man and an amazing farmer, They had learned from him to raise everything to eat. Things did get rough but kathy managed to help out the farm and still have time for school, she learned to read and write ( that was something she was really proud of. ) The family lived pretty good though, they never really had any sick children and they always had plenty of food.
